Overcoming Resistance to Change- Introduction

We may know other people or have ourselves experienced relationships that are detrimental to one’s mental and/or physical health.  Individuals who remain in unhealthy relationships are intelligent people who know that a certain situation is making a negative contribution to their lives, however, their own resistance prevents them from taking steps to change it. The source of this ‘resistance’ is often a feeling of overwhelming fear. 

In the next few weeks, this blog will explore how to overcome our own resistance and help us to:
·         Understand the relationship between resistance and fear
·         Recognize how resistance manifests itself
·         Work through our feelings of fear
·         Utilize tools to challenge the resistance

Change is a requirement for growth and our relationships with other people are opportunities for that growth to occur. 
 In the next chapter, we will look at how resistance and fear are connected.
